Racelogic Performance Box

Performance Meters, Part Two

The Performance Box is a cheaper version of the Driftbox that we wrote about in September 2006. The Performance Box costs less because it doesn’t record vehicle drift angles like the obviously-named Driftbox. It’s still a powerful tool, because it logs speed, g’s, and lap times. The palm-sized unit attaches to the windshield with suction cups and measures quarter-mile and 0-to-60-mph times, as well as lap times, lateral g, and speed.

The included software is easy to use and produces track and data graphs that can be overlaid to see data from multiple laps. The only downside is that the windshield mount can be distracting, but for the dough, you get plenty of information to make you a better driver.
